For example, <i>NoWho</i> could be used for two locations: either the area immediately north of Whole Foods, OR the area immediately surrounding the Days Inn.

I did go on the SOECA yahool listerv the other day and asked the specific question: where does Evanswood come from? No response yet. Thayer: the habit of real estate developers incorporating the name of an adjacent (or nearby)community has been going on for a few hundred years and not just in this country. There are countless examples in London, Paris, Barcelona. Lil' Ole South Woodside Park is just a blip.

I have seen 2 businesses that I loved replaced with CVSs. CVS does sell useful stuff. But it already has quite a few locations. Could the QTELC have been coping with a rent increase, for example? From what I have seen, the place has been very popular with parents. It must be hard to do this as a business, however. Doesn't child care get federal subsidies in European countries?
